Abstract
This chapter discusses the advantages of short pulse lasers over cw laser sources for biomedical imaging and therapy. Different solution methods of transient radiative transport equation for analyzing short pulse laser transport through tissues needed to determine tissue optical properties are discussed. Discussion about bio-heat transfer models are presented which are used to analyze the temperature distribution and heat affected zones in tissues following laser therapy. Nanoparticles are used to improve the efficacy of imaging and therapy and their role and associated safety and toxicity issues are discussed.
